Acetoacetyl-CoA synthase (EC 2.3.1.194, NphT7) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase (decarboxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA acetoacetyl-CoA + CoA + CO2

The enzyme from the soil bacterium Streptomyces sp. CL190 produces acetoacetyl-CoA.
